Description
Identifies possible analogues to CYPT and constructs stemmata of narrative motifs to explore the relations between Chaucer's work and the others, showing that the ninth chapter of the "Kitah al-mukhtar fı kashf al-asrar" of thirteenth-century Syrian writer Al-Jawbarı provides close and numerous analogues to Chaucer's work, discussing details and motifs available to Chaucer via a "lost archetype" of the "Kitah" that is separate from tales by Ramon Llull and Don Juan Manuel.
